Chapter: Some Privacy Please🌸Eden🌸I could see the shock on Nalani’s face, the way her perfectly composed mask cracked just for a moment. It was priceless.“What are you doing here?” she demanded, her voice tight with barely concealed fury.I took a sip of the juice, savoring the sting of the cold liquid as I watched her squirm. “Oh, I wasn’t invited?” I replied, my tone sweet with just a hint of sarcasm. “It’s funny, I thought I’d come congratulate you in person. After all, it’s not every day you manage to trap someone so… desperate.”Her eyes narrowed, and I could see her fists clenching at her sides. It was clear she wasn’t used to being spoken to like this, especially not by me. She was used to controlling the narrative, but I wasn’t playing by her rules anymore.“I don’t know what your game is, Eden,” Nalani hissed, taking a step closer. “But you’re wasting your time.”I just shrugged, taking another slow sip of my drink, knowing I had her rattled. “Wasting my time? Oh, Nalani, I’m just here for the show.

Chapter: Green Snake Under Green Grass🌸Eden🌸Vanessa sat by my bedside, her face etched with guilt. “Let me escort you home,” she insisted, her voice soft but firm.I shook my head gently. “I’m fine, really. The chauffeur will be here soon, and I won’t even be alone at home.”“It’s all my fault, Eden,” Vanessa said, her voice heavy with regret. “Please, let me make it up to you.”I hesitated, watching her closely. She looked sincere, her eyes pleading. It felt easier to just agree than to argue. I shrugged lightly. “Okay.”Vanessa’s lips curved into a relieved smile. She stood quickly, eager to help. “I’ll pack your things.”I nodded, letting her fuss over me as I carefully got out of bed. Every movement reminded me how close I had come to losing everything.When we left the hospital, the chauffeur was already waiting. The drive home was quiet, the hum of the car filling the awkward silence between us.As soon as we reached the door, it opened, and Mia rushed toward me, her face pale with worry. “Madam, are you okay?” s

Chapter: Unsettling Truths 🌸Eden🌸I felt good about what I did at Nalani’s house last night. It gave me some satisfaction, but it still hurt. How did everything fall apart so quickly? And Liam? He was nothing but a toy for Nalani to play with.“Here’s your bag, madam,” Mia said, handing it to me. “Everything’s ready for today. Oh, and some security guys are waiting outside for you.”I sighed. This had to be Finn’s doing. “I told him I could handle this on my own,” I muttered under my breath.Stepping outside, I spotted two men standing by the car.“Good morning, madam,” one of them said, stepping forward. “I’m Joshua, and this is Will. We’re your escort henceforth.I blushed when she heard “escort.” I didn’t expect Finn to go this far for my safety.I turned to the two men. “Umm, I don’t really need a babysitter. I think I’m fine on my own.”Joshua stepped forward, looking a little worried. “But, Madam…”“Please, it’s going to be awkward at school,” Eden interrupted. “You guys can go ahead. I’ll talk to Mr. R

Chapter: It’s Not a Threat, It’s a Warning Liam quickly left the room, realizing how badly he had messed up. He had been selfish, wanting everything for himself. Now he had lost everything. He needed to make things right with Nalani.He caught up with her in the hallway. “Nalani, please, just listen to me. I don’t want anything to do with Eden. I went to see her because it was part of my plan. I need to get rid of the baby, that’s all. Please understand, this is for us.”Nalani stopped and looked at him, her eyes cold. “How?” she asked, her voice sharp.“I’m trying to handle it. I went to her so she wouldn’t suspect anything, but it’s just to get rid of the baby and move on. It has nothing to do with her. Only you,” Liam said, his voice desperate.Nalani’s lips curved into a small smile. “You want to get rid of the baby, huh?”Liam nodded, his throat tight. “Yeah, I don't want it in the way of my political career.”Nalani’s smile grew. “Then why didn’t you tell me before?”Liam blinked, confused. “What do you mean?”“I already

Chapter: The Wedding Is Off!Liam pushed open the front doors of the mansion, his face dark with anger. The embarrassment from earlier still stung—Eden’s slap had hurt his pride more than anything. All he wanted now was to forget the day and find comfort in Nalani.But as soon as he walked in, he noticed something was wrong. Nalani stood at the bottom of the stairs, her arms crossed, her face furious.“Nalani?” he asked, frowning. “What’s wrong?”She didn’t answer. When he stepped closer and leaned in to kiss her, she slapped him hard across the face.The sound echoed through the room. The staff nearby froze in shock. One servant gasped loudly, and others stared, unsure of what to do.Liam touched his cheek, his face burning with embarrassment. First Eden, now this? He clenched his fists, trying to stay calm.“What was that for?” he shouted.“For being stupid,” Nalani snapped.“Stupid? What are you talking about?” he asked, confused.“If you miss your ex-wife so much, why don’t you go back to her?” she said coldl

Chapter: Cracks in the Contract Zoe sat on her bed, scrolling through her phone. A notification popped up from her notifications. It was from her anonymous client. Now, she finally knew who he was.“Did you get home? I’d like to see you tomorrow. Maybe we could go for coffee?”Zoe thought about it. Then she replied, “Your next session isn’t until next week.”Avron quickly responded, “I don’t want to talk about that. I just want to see you. Coffee tomorrow?”Zoe was confused. Why was he so eager to meet her outside of their professional sessions? She didn’t understand what he wanted, but she agreed to meet him.The next day, she drove to a small café. Sat at a table near the window, glancing at her phone. She checked the time—Avron was late. She sent him a message, but there was no reply.She looked around the café, starting to get annoyed. “What am I even doing here?” she thought. She was angry, frustrated, and beginning to feel foolish. She grabbed her jacket and stood up, ready to leave.Just then, Avron was whee

Chapter: The Woman He LovesZoe sat in her office, staring at the bouquet Avron had given her. She didn’t understand his intentions, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she felt.The door opened, and Elena stepped in quickly. “Mrs. Walter is here to see you,” she said.Zoe’s heart sank, but she nodded. Before she could reply, Lana walked in, elegant and commanding.Elena hesitated. “Should I—”“You can leave,” Lana interrupted, taking a seat across from Zoe.Zoe sat up, already sensing it wasn’t going to be pleasant.“I don’t understand why you’re already back from your honeymoon,” Lana began. “You’re newlyweds, i didn’t spend all that money for you to ruin it.”Zoe tried to respond, but Lana continued. “Adonis is still reckless, still irresponsible. And I still see him with that gold digger. As a married man, and especially with a woman like you as his wife, there should be improvements by now.”“I’m doing my best,” Zoe said firmly. “He doesn’t want to—”Lana raised a hand, cutting her off. “Do

Chapter: An Apology Avron was escorted into Zoe’s office by his assistant, his wheelchair gliding smoothly across the floor.Zoe sat stiffly, her hands resting on the desk as she watched him. She couldn’t ignore the discomfort creeping up her spine. The last time she had seen him was at her wedding—the day he had made it clear that he wasn’t particularly happy about her presence in the Walter family.And now, here he was, sitting in front of her, smiling like they were old friends.She didn’t know much about him. She wasn’t sure if he liked her or not. She didn’t even know why he had booked this session in the first place.All she knew was that something about this felt… off.Zoe took a steady breath, pushing down the unease. She had a job to do.“Mr. Walter,” she greeted professionally, keeping her voice neutral. “Welcome. I assume you’re here for therapy?”Avron tilted his head slightly, amusement flickering in his eyes. “What else would I be here for? Do you sell chicken nuggets?”Zoe didn’t answer ri

Chapter: Anonymous ClientZoe stepped into her office building, the familiar scent of coffee and fresh paperwork greeting her. She hadn’t realized how much she had missed this place.The moment she walked in, her colleagues turned to her with bright smiles.“Mrs. Walter! You’re back already?” her assistant, Elena, gasped. “I thought you were supposed to be on your honeymoon.”Zoe gave a small smile as she adjusted her bag on her shoulder. “Plans change,” she said simply. “I’m here now, and that’s what matters.”The others exchanged glances, clearly curious, but no one pushed further. She was married to a billionaire now, and they wondered why she would be in a haste to work.“Your schedule is full today,” Elena informed her, handing over a tablet with her appointments. “Also, there’s something strange—an anonymous client booked a session, but they left no details.”Zoe frowned. “No name? No background information?”Elena shook her head. “Nothing at all. The appointment was for this morning, but they haven’t sh

Chapter: Not Just His Contract WifeZoe walked past them quietly, not sure what to do. Her heart pounded as she realized who the woman was. Abigail.She kept walking, hoping to avoid a scene, but Abigail stepped in front of her, blocking her path.“And where do you think you’re going?” Abigail sneered, grabbing Zoe’s arm.Zoe looked at Adonis, expecting him to say something. To do something. But he only bowed his head, saying nothing.A sharp sting of disappointment hit her, but she masked it quickly. Without a word, she removed Abigail’s hand from her arm and turned to leave.Abigail’s eyes darkened. “How dare you?” she snapped and shoved Zoe.Zoe stumbled back, catching herself just in time. Anger flared in her chest. She had been silent for too long. Without thinking, she raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face.Abigail gasped, her head snapping to the side. She turned to Adonis, her eyes teary now.Adonis finally stepped in, grabbing Zoe’s wrist before she could strike again. “Enough!"Zoe’s chest rose

Chapter: The Breaking Point Zoe yanked her hand away from Adonis’s grip, her face set in frustration.“I’m tired of your little games, Adonis, let’s just go home.”Adonis stared at her, clearly not expecting that response. He let out a short laugh, shaking his head. “Home? Zoe, we just got here.”“I don’t care.” Her voice was firm, her eyes cold. “I don’t want to be here, pretending to be something we’re not. This is no honeymoon. This is not even a real marriage so we don’t need it.”His jaw clenched. “You’re overreacting.”“Am I?” She crossed her arms. “You act like this is all a joke, like you enjoy pushing my buttons. But I’m done playing along. So if you don’t mind, Get the PJ ready we’re going back to New York.”Adonis exhaled slowly, running a hand through his hair. “You’re not going anywhere, Zoe.”She scoffed. “Watch me.”She turned to leave, but he caught her wrist again, this time gently. “Fine, let’s go back to the hotel.”Zoe hesitated, surprised by his sudden agreement, but she nodded.
